A Sonny Boggs commissioned piece...

[Cadillactaste]

I had contacted Sonny...with a desire to have him make me a pot. Can't wait to see this in person! I am extremely thrilled with this piece. It's sooooo "me" don't ya think!?! Love the snail!

3 1/2 x 1 1/2 outside dimensions...and thanks! Though...I can't take credit for it's creation. I'm very pleased with the final outcome. He's amazing to work with...a great fella indeed! Very talented as well.

I've been wanting one of his pots ever since I joined the FB auction pages. He may be my favorite modern potter, I just really like his style and glazes!

His glazes and work seen in person...puts those photos to shame. The depth you just can't photograph. Hang tight on one...when you get one. Hold it in your hands...you won't regret the purchase that's for sure.

Your primula blue lavender flowers are violas (violets) I call them Greenland Violets. But they go by many names, in most places they go by "invasive weeds", but they are pretty just the same. They grow all over the place in my yard, and pop up in bonsai with out any notice. Windborne seeds I suppose.

oh, and they grow from cuttings, just prunings mind you very easy. Just pop one at the joint and stick it in a pot and it will root in a couple weeks.

It's the name they came with from Dasu Bonsai. But I agree ...they didn't look like the name they went under when doing a search. Thanks for a proper ID.
